Choppy to small waves. Long pebble beach. You should head to the east end of the beach as kiting is only allowed here, not in front of the road. There is a park with grass where to rig up. On high tide the beach can be narrow. Besides that there are a lot of shells an small drift wood on the beach. Works good in Southerlies. Too much SE and the wind can get unstable. Summer months, October to April around 20+°C, best May to June marginal and July to October winter months it is cold (10-14°C), but possible to ride. Water: Chop, Smallwave. Features: Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
